I remember watching this live, frustrated with Jones, arguing with the announcers during the last leg. "He can still do it. The last 25 meters is what you trained for! Come on, Lezak! Come on! Come on!" I was _screaming_ at the television... watching him propel himself out of the water with each stroke. The call of "Here comes Lezak!" still gives me chills. That leg--especially the last 20 meters--is still the single greatest sprint I've ever seen.
You really can't blame Jones though, he had swum an excellent split but looked slow because he was up against the fastest split in history at the time.
@@matthieup.4610 Bousquet had record setting split in the prelims, so, yeah before Lezak dove in it was the fastest split in history. Even in this race he went 46.63 which was a faster split than any of the Americans…except Lezak in the final.
Quite possibly the greatest come back in U.S. Olympic history. When they hit the water anybody knowledgeable of Bernard's ability would have thought this race was 100% over. Lezak was an absolute BEAST in the last twenty meters!
One hundred percent I’ve been swimming and playing polo my whole life when I saw lezak get in I thought forsure they were 2nd place but lezak said hood my beer 😂
I remember this image at the end when Bernard was still in the pool catching his breath and his huge chest was expanding like the one of a toad. That is how hard they went.
As a swimmer I think this was the most exciting sports moment I've ever witnessed live. I particularly remember the French relay talking shit and the announcers really hyped this race. We were totally expecting a loss but my dad and I just about lost it when Lezak won, jumped up from our chairs screaming at the tv lmao. Legendary moment!!!
I was 8 months old when the Miracle on Ice happened. This, right here, is my Olympic “Miracle on Ice” moment, in terms of rallying behind the announcers’ energy.
@@gtgaxiola Opening leg is done from a stationary start, whereas later swimmers can lean over in the process of diving as the preceding swimmer is coming in
@@gtgaxiola because you know when to start in the relay. You can time the jump with the guy in front of you touching the wall because you can see his hand. When starting from the gun in the individual race, you don’t know exactly when the beep will happen so you lose a few tenths from that.
"Bernard is losing some ground! Here comes Lezak!! Unbelievable at the end!!!" "He did it!!!!" "He did it!!!!!" I still can't believe...he did it! I watched it that night. It was over when I heard "Bernard is pulling away from him.". And then, the announcer's voice changed as he abruptly blurted out, "But Lezak is closing a little on Bernard!" I jumped up and hurried to stare at the screen thinking, "No, he doesn't have time... does he?! Can he ??!!" Every cell in my body was holding it's breath as Lezak seemed to inch closer and closer...and suddenly, everlastingly impossibly..."He did it!! He did it!!!" It was the most electric comeback and call...ever...and forever!!! I have not, and never will forget what I saw that night. Truly, it was ..."UNBELIEVABLE AT THE END!!!!!"
I remember watching this in the hotel at the beach. It inspired me to go out in the ocean and swim the next morning. I got about 30 yards out and got got in a rip current. Never swam again.
I still watch this and cannot fathom how incredible he was in that last 25 meters. It's like he was shot out of a cannon. I get goosebumps when they both lose their minds after he touches first.
I just want everyone to know that the last French swimmer swam the 2nd fastest split in history only below what the French swimmer right behind him swam, yet lezak still outpaced him by a body length... he smashed the relay split record more more than half a second, unheard of in 100m freestyle. Truly otherworldly stuff
Bernard swam one of the fastest splits in history (especially at that point a sub 47 was great) and still the announcers thought he tightened up, but it wasnt the case....Lezak just swam the greatest split ever.
I remember this so vividly... kneeling in front of the living room tv in the dark. Everyone else had gone to bed and my dad was about to as well. I told him to stop and watch one more race with me. I sat there yelling at the TV like I was right there on the deck! My favorite Olympic memory and I'll be surprised if anything tops it. I was a 15 year old swimmer at the time and it was INSANE what Lezak was able to do. Phelps may be the GOAT but Lezak is a pure warrior. USA!
Cool story. I didn't catch this one, but I remember waking up at 4am to see Phelps' fly showdown race vs Cavic. It didn't dissapoint. I was performing silent screams of joy and I'm not even American 😂
Man never underestimate the heart of a champion. Lezak always anchored these relay's and you can go back and count how many he came from behind and won for his team it's mind blowing how many. Simply put winners always find a way to win. From College to the Olympics. Some have it some don't. Lezak had it.
This is 16 years old and it still gives me goosebumps. This made everyone in America go absolute apeshit! You had to have watched this live to know what I’m talking about. The last 25 meters is the greatest swimming moment we will ever see in the Olympics. Lezak unleashed everything he had in him and he swam the best split in history. The commentary, Phelps’ reaction, and the intensity was just incredible.
The outcome of that leg was a combination of Lezak's skill (riding Bernard's wake close to the rope), Lezak's ludicrous effort, yeeeears of training, and a sliver of luck. Bernard was faster when he breathed on his right side (vs. his left or alternating), so he was breathing only to his right, which meant that he couldn't see Lezak well on the final length. On the flip side, Lezak had a little bad luck in that he had to glide his final stroke into the wall. Crazy race; insane performance from Lezak. 0.08 seconds apart.
If I'm not mistaken, Lezak absolutely shattered the world record for a 4x100 split by .6 seconds. I think that record still stands but the current second fastest split is only .08 seconds slower than Lezak's. So many things had to go right for him to make up the ground he needed to on Bernard. Unbelievable.
Nothing beats Al Michaels and the miracle on ice. No comparison at all. Literally a miracle beating a Russian team during the Cold War, a team that beat them and NHL players earlier in the year
been swimming all my life, in highschool last year i got to do a clinic with lezak, and i hadnt heard his name in the past. after a few hours working with him ( with my whole team not 1 on 1) we went to the school cafeteria and he told us the story leading up to this and much more facinating details. very cool guy, he signed my hub cap for me and let us all wear his gold metals
I'm watching "The Greatest Race" on NBC's Peacock Channel now. As a competitive swimmer and water polo player in high school, I love swimming. I live in NYC now but I still dream about being in the pool. There are endless great moments in sports history. There was Secretariat's shattering 1973 Triple Crown records. Then there is perhaps the greatest moment in sports history with Jesse Owens' 1936 win in front of Adolf Hitler. In the world of swimming there is Michael Phelps. 8 golds in 8 days. I still tremble thinking about it. Alain Bernard owned the world record for the 100 meter freestyle. What Jason Lezak did was the "greatest achievement in sports history" in my lifetime. It's scientifically impossible to be a full body length behind the fastest swimmer in the world on the final turn and win the race. Somehow Jason Lezak pulled off the impossible. Every time I watch this race I am gobsmacked. I still can't believe this happened. Till this day, Ceasar Cielo holds the 100m world record with a time of 46.91. Jason's swim of 46.06 doesn't count as a world record because it was on a relay. I bow to Michael Phelps, Garrett Weber-Gale, Cullen Jones, & Jason Lezak. I will never see anything like this again. Also, let's give respect to the French. Smack talk or not it takes defeating the best in the world for history to be written.
Everyone thinks of Michael Phelps and Katie Ledecky these days as well they should but this split by Lezak is still the greatest of all time by an American swimmer imo. Both him and Bernard were close to 4 seconds ahead of the World Record at the finish which is just insaaaaaane.
That’s crazy, I met him too. It was lezak, and Aaron Piersol, also for a swim camp in Tyler Texas, it was awesome! I was young, but lezak was HUGE, this was like 2-3 years after this event and he definitely put on some size
One of the best parts of a legendary victory like this is when the experts(commentators here) have counted out the team/person that is behind and begin talking g like it’s already over…..then The incredulity of the victory.
I rewatched it and saw exactly what you meant: he was literally lifting himself out of the water...something only experience can teach you; you don't get taught that...can be explained with physics, air resistance is lower than water resistance so you can reach higher speed with the same impulse (push)
Just crazy what he did, in most sports when u are at that level, to make up that much ground in that short of time is virtually impossible. But somehow he did it and on the biggest stage in the world.
Adrenaline is such a wild thing. You had 4 or 5 TEAMS all swimming faster than any human beings had ever swam before, including themselves in prior heats.... all pushing eachother to go faster
This commentary call is great; but theres another of NON american announcers calling this event that I cannot find anymore online. They were in disbelief, outwardly shouting "NO!" at the end just before Lezak touches the wall... The bias was SUPER apparent in that moment, and there was silence for a brief second as Lezak registered as the winner before the announcers started talking again. I wish I could find that. HOOOOLY crap it was SO satisfying; the announcers were livid inside.
As a proud born and raised American: this was my “do you believe in miracles moment”. I wasn’t born when the US hockey team defeated Russia. I will never forget where I was on this August night when the Frenchman couldn’t handle the pressure and the American who swam the greatest relay split ever.
